UND 4 DU 1

DeJevu; Saturday night at the fights as the Sioux and Pioneers slug it out in a good ole fashion grudge match. As a fan I think this was a great series to watch. As a fan this is what I expect from a UND and DU game, both teams got after it all game long.

The Fight(s)

I do think the ref Marko Hunt made a grave mistake by letting Radke and Testwuide continue in the game, both players should have been given game disqualifications for fighting, both players were definitely throwing punches. It was also unanimous as the guys sitting around us agreed as well. That is the first time I have ever seen a college hockey player get into two fights in ONE game. I think if you look back at the fights UND has been involved in they were a direct result in the way the games were called. Call me a halo but if the refs start giving penalties for all unnecessary stuff (face washes, cross checks, punches etc)eventually the message will make its way down to the players involved in the game. Again call the games like the NHL and the game will clean itself up in about three weeks. The UND Fighting Sioux has now had three players receive game disqualifications for fighting this season.

~UND is 15-8-2 against nationally ranked teams.

~Oshie and Duncan are tied with Lasch for the league lead in points.

~In the last 10 games UND has given up more than one goal only twice.

~The last time UND swept DU in Grand Forks was 1999

Gordwiser said: w t f? What a bunch of pansies complaining about bumping, gooning, and physical play... has no one played organized sports? That is why there are rules and penalties. If the Sioux (or any team) continue to muck it up, it's going to cost them with penalties, DQ's, etc. and eventually it will catch up with them. Even with all the physical play, I haven't seen any play with an intent to injure... that's a different story and do not condone that at all. I'm sick of all the BS about it all being on the Sioux and never the other team. If you have ever played any team sport of any kind, it's going both ways to some extent. We aren't on the ice to hear what is actually going on.
